Speaking how which, how are economists using AI? Are they getting better at making predictions?

The added speed of AI tools means they're now able to predict 18 of the next 10 recessions.

That would require AI to be accurate

		It wouldn't require perfect accuracy, just rough accuracy and a human to confirm, and it's already more than good enough for that. I do not understand this confusion surrounding modern math.

Here's the thing about economists... The loudest ones don't want to be correct, they want to be influential. The ones who can actually make good predictions work for banks and hedge funds lol.
